How Ratchet Got His Hands Back Upon joining the Autobots, he participated in the Act of Affiliation. Primus: You, Me, and Other Revelations

Ambulon and his team of paramedics were on duty when Dogfight's squad arrived at Delphi after a skirmish with the Decepticon Justice Division. A soldier named Schema had taken serious fire and was Ambulon's primary concern while staff medic First Aid examined Dogfight, Backstreet and Dodger for less-serious injuries. When First Aid began touching all their insignias, Ambulon looked up from Schema long enough to tell Dogfight's crew that was just the medic's personal quirk. Bullets

When the Red Rust virus was unleashed, Pharma, First Aid, and Ambulon rushed to treat the infected. They were later accompanied by Ratchet, Pipes, and Drift and while First Aid was bringing them up to speed, Ambulon worked on the wounded Backstreet. Later on, when Ratchet, Pharma, and Ambulon were exploring Delphi, they were cornered by the Genericons, who had escaped during the outbreak of the virus. They were rescued by an angry Fortress Maximus Life After the Big Bang who made short work of the Genericons.

Pharma blamed Ambulon for the Red Rust incident, since he had been a Decepticon, but it was soon revealed that Pharma was behind this. Pharma shot the life support machine and fled through a tunnel in a CR chamber, which had the medics scramble to save the failing patients. After Delphi's inhabitants of the virus were cured with the vaccine, Ambulon left aboard the Lost Light with other survivors. How Ratchet Got His Hands Back

Following Fort Max's psychotic episode on board the Lost Light (during which he shot five of the crew and held Rung and Whirl hostage) Ambulon, along with First Aid and Ratchet, was instrumental in saving Rung's life after he was accidentally shot in the head by Swerve.
